MI SB1084

Amends Michigan's governmental tort immunity law (1964 PA 170) to clarify Section 7 regarding immunity for government employees, officers, and volunteers engaged in governmental functions.

Maintains governmental agency immunity from tort liability when engaged in governmental functions, and preserves state immunity as it existed before July 1, 1965.

Provides immunity to government officers, employees, volunteers, and board members from tort liability for injuries or property damage if they act within their authority, the agency is performing a governmental function, and their conduct does not amount to gross negligence (defined as conduct so reckless as to demonstrate substantial lack of concern for whether injury results).

Excludes from immunity: medical care or treatment provided by governmental agencies (except hospitals operated by Department of Community Health or Department of Corrections and care by uncompensated search and rescue medical assistants), and liability under the MISS DIG underground facility damage prevention and safety act.

Provides full immunity for judges, legislators, and highest executive officials acting within their authority, as well as guardians ad litem acting within scope of authority; takes effect only if Senate Bill 1083 is enacted into law.
